1 & 2 Corinthians

Teacher: Mark Johnson

We've talked a lot about the Books of 1st and 2nd Corinthians in our four years together. I'm going to focus a bit more on lessons from Corinth for our church today. Corinth was a church divided and some people feel that Adventism is divided. William Johnson said that we have two churches.

• How did Paul deal with a divided church?
• How should we deal with a divided church?
• What does the future of our church look like if we look at Corinth?
